H ow & w h en t o o r d er : Orders are due March 22nd. Please submit your order
form and pay by this date. Order early because quantities are limited; sometimes we run out
of certain items. You can check our website to see if we've run out of anything yet. Use the
order form that is enclosed or download it from the website. Email or mail the order form in,
and pay by check, or by going on the website to use a credit card, debit card, or PayPal.
After the deadline, we cannot accept new orders, but we will have some extra items for sale
at the pick up day.
H ow & w h en t o p i ck u p y o u r p l a n t s : Come to the Rochester Fairgrounds
on Saturday, May 4th, 9am to noon, or Monday, May 6th, 3pm to 5:30pm. We will also have
extra items for sale at this time.
A b o u t t h e p l a n t s al e: The spring plant sale is a Conservation District tradition.
The purpose is to offer local residents with high quality but low cost plants that have
conservation benefits, and are difficult to find from retail sources. We don't grow the plants
ourselves. We buy young wholesale stock trees and shrubs, so the plants might be smaller
than what you would typically find at a store, but they are high quality with good survival
rates. Your payment covers the wholesale price of the plant, plus shipping and the other
costs associated with the plant sale. You are welcome to tell us what plants you would like to
see in next year's sale!

Note: Bareroot means that the plant does not come in a pot, its roots are completely bare. This saves a lot of money on transportation
and materials. We only sell plants that are very high quality and are known to grow well in New Hampshire, so our plants have a very
high success rate, but we can't guarantee a 100% survival rate for all items. We'll provide you with information about planting and
caring for bareroot stock.
